The Convergence of Federated Learning and Healthcare 5.0 and Beyond: A New Era of Intelligent Health Systems. This item is unavailable.The Convergence of Federated Learning and Healthcare 5.0 and Beyond: A New Era of Intelligent Health Systems

This book introduces a novel integration of Federated Learning with the vision of Healthcare 5.0 to enable secure, adaptive, and intelligent health systems. It presents cutting-edge frameworks that support decentralized model training across medical institutions while preserving patient privacy and ensuring compliance with data regulations.

Focusing on real-world use cases, such as predictive diagnostics, edge-based patient monitoring, personalized medicine, and surgical robotics, it bridges theoretical advances with practical implementations. This book provides deep insights into the design of scalable, privacy-preserving artificial intelligence infrastructures suited for cross-institutional collaboration.

Dr. Priya Pattanaik is a lecturer at the Berlin School of Business and Innovation in Germany. Her research skills are primarily in quantitative analysis and developing machine learning algorithms with deep neural networks and graphical models for visual computing, including medical image analysis and disease detection. She worked as a postdoctoral scientist at IMT Atlantique, France, in the Image and Information Processing department of the LaTIM research group, focusing on developing concepts and tools to address one of the great challenges of the Musculoskeletal (MSK) field: understanding and exploiting the link between the shape and function of a joint (2020-2022). She also worked as a postdoctoral fellow in collaboration with a range of academic institutions and industrial partners, such as Télécom SudParis, the University of Saclay, a team from the Centre for Mathematical Morphology of Mines ParisTech, and the company TRIBVN (2019). In March 2019, she successfully defended her doctoral thesis, which focuses on the use of machine learning for classifying microscopic blood smear images to detect malaria early. She has numerous publications in high-impact SCI and Scopus-indexed research journals and conferences.
